The Euro-style shower door, or frameless glass door, is an aesthetically pleasing option if you’re renovating your bathroom. It’s customized to fit any enclosure, adding visual fluidity to the overall design of the room. Here is a guide to these popular doors to help you decide whether they’re for you.

What Are They

Frameless shower doors remove the hardware features of framed glass doors. They’re typically made of thicker glass than framed versions, and don’t require rubber and metal seals. Made completely of glass, the doors swing open on elegant hinges of your choosing.

Why You Should Choose Them

Shower doorSince this option doesn’t have extra features, it’s often used for contemporary or minimalistic bathrooms. It also keeps the focus on your bathroom fixtures and decorative tiles. The glass acts as a divider between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, but since it’s transparent, it opens up the room and creates the illusion of more space. If you want more privacy while allowing light to still shine through, have your contractor use textured or frosted glass for the frameless fixture.

Without frames and rubber areas, there are also fewer spots for soap scum and mildew to accumulate. Not only does this simplify cleanup, but it also prevents unpleasant, musty odors from developing. To clean your shower door and prevent limescale buildup, simply wipe off the excess water with a squeegee and let it air dry.
